dose does sound better but whats better for your turbo :/

however if you have a factory bov, it gosh pshh, why else would you want to change it.

i much prefure the sound of a screamer, shame its illegal :cheers: but as most of you have pointed out unless the cop knows what he is doing and looks under the car there not going to know, most of the time i think they just look for shiny shit and say THATS DEFECTABLE. i remember when a cop said i had a bov on my 4agze (this is a supercharged motor with a Throttle body before teh SC) and he pointed to the fuel regulator, i was like are u f**kn serious, not to mention my dad being asked if he had a V6 in his BA GT lol

atmo bov are just as good as stock ones or plumb backs. just as its the same as cars with no BOV.

stop dissn others personal tastes. if u wanna get that picky i can start shootn off about other shit.

why do u tint ur windows.

why did u change ur rims

why do ppl change their airbox to a pod.

we do these things cuz we like em.....simple as that

And everything you just criticised we criticise too if it's not legal.

Purely, and simply, atmo BOVs are illegal, and 9/10 they just fu'ck up our atmosphere, and make this world a less pleasant place to live in.

Seriously, atmo BOV are a PITA and annoying as hell.

why do u tint ur windows.

to keep the car cooler during the day. it lowers the temp insdie the car

why did u change ur rims

so i could get wider tyres so i get more traction

why do ppl change their airbox to a pod.

so i could get as much air as possible into the engine

You beat me to it lol.

Also, your comment on ATMO being as good as stock \ plumb back - is crap.

They aren't. You obviously have no mechanical knowledge, and don't know that you simply can't use a ATMO BOV with a AFM configured car without running into problems.

Its not a personal taste - Its an annoying mod that people put on to piss off cops, and make owning a "japanese import" harder for the people that don't like to attract attention.

I've had both (Turbosmart plumback and type 3 supersonic) on my 31, difference?

Noise, thats about it, 31 doesn't run a bov standard so venting bov doesn't effect the ecu and backfire.

Sister's 34 did have the Turbosmart type 3 supersonic on it for a little while, caused alot of backfire, standard one went back on.

Can you send me some better pics of your car? I love black rims on silver.

hey, yeah i can do that 4 ya ;).. pm me your email and ill send some over to you... i love the dark rim look on silver to, sorta loox meaner.. hehe... i was looking at your car stats before, and damn they are nice..

i love that other guy who commented about: why have a tint and why have wider rims,, lol..

im sure wider rims dont cause the effect that a atmo bov would to a plumback or no bov,..hehe

wider rims help alot..

Dragsters run superchargers, no BOV.

WRC I think someone stated DON'T run BOV at all.

Australian rally, some do, some don't.

The new porsche GT3 I think it is, race car, doesn't run a BOV at all.

Also, your BOV is still illegal, so have fun when you get reamed for it. As it's not always as easy as getting a blueslip!

he didnt say dont be ignorant. so if he meant that?, why didnt he say that?.. instead of a example which made no sence..

and im sure this topic has more of a impact on your car then a neon. Your talking about taste, bov isent about taste, its about performance!, a neon is taste, or a color is taste, not a bov or tyres and performance parts.. lol.

but i think if any one reads through this thread, you will get a good idea of what is best.. each to there own, very true..

some people compare what track cars use?.... well, im pritty sure most are useing there cars for street, (i know there alot of track guys out there :domokun: .. so how about, go plumback for the streets?, and what ever you want for the track hey?..

bov are loud enough, why do why need atmo on the street?, and there are some great points about turbo life with a plumback, very easy to understand...

i had a atmo HKS SSQ on the GTiR.

standard plumbacks on the GTR

and 180sx had a HKS SSQ and changed to a big port high tension bov... cause it releases air in larger quicker amounts les laggy and holds more boost without leakage..

and now apparently im a wanker for doing so.. why do u have chromies and i have light weight racing rims..? whos the wanker then..?

Exactly.

Police are dumb as hell when it comes to imports. You very rarely find one that knows what they are talking about.

No BOV sighted = No defect.

Thanks,

Abu

Till you get to the EPA.

Then its no BOV sighted = rego suspended/car undriveable.

I do hear your point :( and agree in part

but why do drifters use it?isnt it ment to spool up faster on shifts for D1??

and why do rally cars use it?

I gues the motor is healthier with it plumbed back but is it more performance without?(on quickshifts)

and running no BOV at all is there alot of turbo LAG when changing gears?

Using race cars that rebuild turbos often, run better fuels and are tuned in specific ways... Are not good examples.

not advocating either way...but ive had atmo bovs on both turbo'd cars ive owned and never any dramas with backfiring/afm signals going messy. both cars had powerfcs. Yet some people seem to have heaps of dramas with such setups.

having std plumbacks would be ideal for all the obvious reasons, but whether its enough when your start running higher amounts of boost or increased airflow that its big enough to bleed it all off without still choofing and slowing down the turbo. I guess you could always run a wastegate instead and plumb it back into the intake...that would work pretty good.

Hi fellas,

Got a question for you guys...i run a gtr plumback on my gtst but when running anything over 15psi the bov doesn't vent quickly enough and i get a fair amount of flutter at full boost...with 18psi on the strip its worse...now i know a slight bit of flutter is ok for daily driving or even on the strip but at a track day i have coming up i'm not so sure...would it be advisable to get a atmo bov for my track outings so that the excess pressure is vented fully? Cheers...

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
